O anterior ep desta banda vinda da Indonesia teve algum destaque por aqui há uns anos atrás e sempre os manti um pouco debaixo de olho, até porque achava que o "Enshrine In Chaos" era uma especie de segredo bem guardado dentro do movimento extremo asiatico e achava que o projeto teria poder para ombrear com outros nomes do genero ou criar/oferecer algo interessante no futuro.
Pois bem o futuro chegou através da espanhola Black Seed que vai editar o primeiro album em Setembro, mas já se podem ouvir os primeiros sons do "Stellar Abomination"...
Fica tambem aqui os 18 minutos do ep de 2017:
Pure necroprophetic black metal art! Gramarye emerge from the depths of infernal blackness with the most captivating black metal demo of the year. “Necroprophecy” unfolds a tale of dark arts, sorcery, and lust through four blasphemous verses. Chilling vocals and mesmerizing riffs send you back to the bygone era of black metal when the sinister feeling prevailed and winter was forever!
The brand new EP from Richmond, VA’s chaos ascendants, featuring four crushing declarations of death metal victory! Bombarding the listener with riff after punishing riff, LEFT CROSS establishes a palpable pulse from the aptly-titled opening track, “Hail of Doom”, and drags the listener along by the neck as that pulse fluidly flips from stomping to galloping and back again. It is clear that this ferocious five-piece rejects the all too familiar tropes of today’s easily digestible metal of death, like studio-fabricated cavernous “atmosphere” and soporific droning passages, and instead produces something potent that you can grasp onto and carry into battle with fist raised and head banging. The prophecy is set in stone, and LEFT CROSS are destined to conquer. Featuring members of Antichrist Siege Machine, Spite (live), and other reputable defenders of the faith.
AMOR FATI PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HÄXENZIJRKELL's highly anticipated debut album, Die Nachtseite, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Ever since the release of their first demo tape back in 2016, HÄXENZIJRKELL marched on their very own path towards the bottomless pit of darkness. Raw and resolute black metal was the German duo's foundation; the mysteries of the beyond was their goal. And thirsty and miserable was that march, stridently suffocating the listener (and perhaps themselves) with epic-length screeds of despair and dread, culminating in two more EPs as well as split EPs with LVTHN and Brånd in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Now, the bottom of that bottomless pit drops out completely, and the result is HÄXENZIJRKELL's long-awaited debut album, Die Nachtseite. Sonically consistent with their prior works yet wielding new twists to their trademark horror & howl, Die Nachtseite marks a further step: a ritual divided in three parts - the Path, the Flame, and the Awakening. Musically, the duo continue where the recent split with Brånd left off, building alternately dense/spacious soundwalls nevertheless staggeringly tall and menacing. Like past HÄXENZIJRKELL compositions, the three epics comprising the 37-minute album easily walk into double-digit length, and for good reason: their utterly sinister atmospheres envelop the listener like a slowly-moving, hauntingly-hovering fog. More immersive than ever, the duo's black metal becomes transcendental, so removed from - and aiming far beyond - regular, rote humanity. These are the echoes from the deepest pits of the Abyss!
